A boilerplate for Node.js web applications.
Forked from the excellent Hackathon Start. I've removed the OAuth and API related bits, as I'll likely need them less often when starting my projects.

❗ Note: If you are new to Node.js or Express framework, I highly recommend watching Node.js and Express 101 screencast by Alex Ford that teaches Node and Express from scratch. Alternatively, here is another great tutorial for complete beginners - Getting Started With Node.js, Express, MongoDB.
The easiest way to get started is to clone the repository:
# Fetch only the latest commits.
git clone --depth=1 git@github.com:sahat/hackathon-starter.git my-project
cd my-project
# Install NPM dependencies
npm install
node app.js❗ Note: I strongly recommend installing nodemon
sudo npm install -g nodemon. It will monitor for any changes in your node.js application and automatically restart the server. Once installed, instead ofnode app.jsusenodemon app.js. It is a big time saver in the long run.

❗ Note: There is no difference how you name or structure your views. You could place all your templates in a top-level views directory without having a nested folder structure, if that makes things easier for you. Just don't forget to update extends ../layout and corresponding res.render() method in controllers. For smaller apps, I find having a flat folder structure to be easier to work with.
/css/styles.css file, you should be editing styles.less stylesheet. Express will automatically generate minified styles.css whenever there are changes in LESS file. This is done via less-middleware node.js library.

- When you install a new npm package, add a --save flag and it will be automatially
added to
package.jsonas well. For example,npm install --save moment. - Use async.parallel() when you neeed to run multiple asynchronous tasks, and then render a page, but only when all tasks are completed. For example, you might want to scrape 3 different websites for some data (async operation) and render the results on a page after all 3 websites have been scraped.
- Need to find a specific object inside an Array? Use _.findWhere function from Underscore.js. For example, this is how you would retrieve a Twitter token from database:
var token = _.findWhere(req.user.tokens, { kind: 'twitter' });, wherereq.user.tokensis an Array, and a second parameter is an object with a given key/value. - If you right click and select View Page Source, notice how Express
minified HTML for you. If you would like to see non-minified markup,
add
app.locals.pretty = true;to app.js with the rest of the Express configuration.
You need to add this hidden input element to your form. This has been added in the pull request #40.
input(type='hidden', name='_csrf', value=token)
From the Node.js Documentation:
A single instance of Node runs in a single thread. To take advantage of multi-core systems the user will sometimes want to launch a cluster of Node processes to handle the load. The cluster module allows you to easily create child processes that all share server ports.
cluster_app.js allows you to take advantage of this feature by forking a process of app.js
for each CPU detected. For the majority of applications serving HTTP requests,
this is a resounding boon. However, the cluster module is still in experimental stage, therefore it should only be used after understanding its purpose and behavior. To use it, simply run node cluster_app.js. Its use is entirely optional and app.js is not tied in any way to it. As a reminder, if you plan to use cluster_app.js instead of app.js, be sure to indicate that in package.json when you are ready to deploy your app.
This is how you typically define static files inside HTML, Jade or any template for that matter:
link(href='/css/styles.css', rel='stylesheet')
script(src='/js/lib/jquery-2.1.0.min.js')
script(src='/js/lib/bootstrap.min.js')
script(src='/js/main.js')Simple enough right? But wouldn't it be nice to have it just like that in development mode, but when you deploy to production, have it minified and concatenated into a single file automatically without any extra effort on you part?
link(href='/css/styles.css', rel='stylesheet')
script(src='/js/application.js')As soon as you start bringing in more JavaScript libraries, the benefits of concatenating and minifying JavaScript files will be even greater. Using connect-assets library it's as as simple as:
!= css('styles') // expects public/css/styles.less
!= js('application') // expects public/js/application.jsThe only thing you need to remember is to define your JavaScript files inside public/js/application.js using this
strange syntax notation (Sprockets-style) borrowed from Rails. I know it's an extra thing to learn
for someone who has never seen Rails asset pipeline before, but in this case, I think benefits outweigh the costs.
//= require lib/jquery-2.1.0.min
//= require lib/bootstrap.min
//= require mainUsing this approach, when working in development mode, connect-assets will load each file individually,
without minifying or concatenating anything. When you deploy your app, it will run in production mode, and so
connect-assets will automatically serve a single concatenated + minified application.js. For more
information see Sprockets-style concatenation
That's a custom error message defined in app.js to indicate that there was a connection problem to MongoDB:
mongoose.connection.on('error', function() {
console.error('✗ MongoDB Connection Error. Please make sure MongoDB is running.');
});As the message says, you need to have a MongoDB server running before launching app.js. You can get MongoDB from
mongodb.org/downloads, or install it via a package manager
(Homebrew on Mac, apt-get on Ubuntu, yum on Fedora, etc.)
Chances are you haven't changed the Dabatase URI in secrets.js. If db is set to localhost, it will only work
on your machine as long as MongoDB is running. When you deploy to Heroku, OpenShift or some other provider, you will not have MongoDB
running on localhost. You need to create an account with MongoLab or MongoHQ, then create a free tier database. See Deployment for more information on how to
setup an account and a new database step-by-step with MongoLab.
When I first started this project I didn't have any experience with Handlebars. Since then I have worked on Ember.js apps and got myself familiar with the Handlebars syntax. While it is true Handlebars is easier, because it looks like good old HTML, I have no regrets picking Jade over Handlebars. First off, it's the default template engine in Express, so someone who has built Express apps in the past already knows it. Secondly, I find extends and block to be indispensable, which as far as I know, Handlebars does not have out of the box. And lastly, subjectively speaking, Jade looks much cleaner and shorter than Handlebars, or any non-HAML style for that matter.
For the sake of simplicity. While there might be a better approach,
such as passing app context to each controller as outlined in this
blog,
I find such style to be confusing for beginners.
It took me a long time to grasp the concept of exports and module.exports,
let alone having a global app reference in other files.
That to me is a backward thinking.
The app.js is the "heart of the app", it should be the one referencing
models, routes, controllers, etc.
When working solo on small projects I actually prefer to have everything inside app.js as is the case with this
REST API server.
Absolutely. But unlike a regular footer there is a bit more work involved. First, delete #wrap and #footer ID selectors and html, body { height: 100%; } from styles.less. Next, delete #wrap and #footer lines from layout.jade (By the way, If no element is specified before the class or id, Jade assumes it's a div element). Don't forget to indent everything under #wrap to the left once, since this project uses two spaces per block indentation.
It might be possible, but why would you want to? I specifically avoided client-side MV* frameworks in this project to keep things simple. There is a big shift in the way you develop apps with Ember, Backbone, Angular as opposed to server-side frameworks like Express, Flask, Rails, Django. Not only would you need to know how to use Express in this case, but also the client-side framework of your choice, which in itself is not a trivial task. And then there is a whole different process for authentication with single page applications. If you insist on using a client-side framework, it's best if you use a boilerplate of choice for your particular client-side framework and just grab the pieces you need from the Hackathon Starter.
If you would like to use Mailgun service instead of SendGrid for sending emails, open controllers/contact.js, then inside var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport('SMTP', { }); comment out or delete SendGrid code block, and uncomment Mailgun code block. You are not limited to just SendGrid or Mailgun. Nodemailer library supports many other providers, including GMail, iCloud, Hotmail, Yahoo, Mail.ru. Just don't forget to add username and password for that service provider to secrets.js.
This section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation about how a particular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works, or maybe you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides some guidance to you.
###:rose: Custom HTML and CSS Design 101
HTML5 UP has many beautiful templates that you can download for free, like the ones you see below:
When you download the ZIP file, it will come with index.html, images, css and js folders. So, how do you integrate it with Hackathon Starter? Hackathon Starter uses Bootstrap CSS framework, but these templates do not. Trying to use both CSS files at the same time will likely result in undesired effects.
❗ Note: Using the custom templates approach, you should understand that you cannot reuse any of the views I have created: layout, home page, api browser, login, signup, account management, contact. Those views were built using Bootstrap grid and styles. You will have to manually update the grid using a different syntax provided in the template. Having said that, you can mix and match if you want to do so: Use Bootstrap for main app interface, and a custom template for a landing page.
Let's start from the beginning. For this example I will use Escape Velocity template:
Note: For the sake of simplicity I will only consider index.html, and skip left-sidebar.html,
no-sidebar.html, right-sidebar.html.
Move all javascript files from html5up-escape-velocity/js to public/js. Then move all css files from html5up-escape-velocity/css to public/css. And finally, move all images from html5up-escape-velocity/images to public/images (You could move it to the existing img folder, but then you would have to manually change every img reference). Grab the contents of index.html and paste it into HTML To Jade.
Create a new file escape-velocity.jade and paste the Jade markup there. Change !!! 5 to doctype html. It's a fairly recent
change in Jade language, but http://html2jade.aaron-powell.com hasn't caught up to this change yet.
Let's see how it looks. Create a new controller escapeVelocity inside controllers/home.js:
exports.escapeVelocity = function(req, res) {
res.render('escape-velocity', {
title: 'Landing Page'
});
};And then create a route in app.js. I placed it right after the index controller:
app.get('/escape-velocity', homeController.escapeVelocity);Restart the server (if you are not using nodemon), then you should see the new template at http://localhost:3000/escape-velocity.
I will stop here, but if you would like to use this template as more than just a single page, take a look at how these Jade templates work: layout.jade - base template, index.jade - home page, partials/navigation.jade - Bootstrap navbar, partials/footer.jade - sticky footer. You will have to manually break it apart into smaller pieces. Figure out which part of the template you want to keep the same on all pages - that's your new layout.jade.
Then, each page that changes, be it index.jade, about.jade, contact.jade
will be embedded in the new layout.jade via block content.
This is a lengthy process, I know, and templates you get from outside HTML5UP, will have yet another grid system. That's why I chose Bootstrap CSS for the Hackathon Starter. Most people are familiar with Bootstrap, it's easy to get started, very extendable. You can also buy a Bootstrap theme drop it in into your project, and everything looks great without a single change to your markup or CSS class names. However, if you would like to go with a completely custom design, there you have it!
###:bulb: How do flash messages work in this project?
Flash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and access
it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login attempt, you would
display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you refresh that page or visit a different
page and come back to the login page, that error message will be gone. It is only displayed once.
This project uses express-flash module for flash messages. And that
module is built on top of connect-flash, which is what I used in
this project initially. With express-flash you don't have to
explicity send a flash message to every view inside res.render().
All flash messages are available in your views via messages object by default,
thanks to express-flash.
Flash messages have a two-step process. You use req.flash('errors', { msg: 'Error messages goes here' }
to create a flash message in your controllers, and then display them in your views:
if messages.errors
.alert.alert-danger.animated.fadeIn
for error in messages.errors
div= error.msgIn the first step, 'errors' is the name of a flash message, which should match the
name of the property on messages object in your views. You place alert messages
inside if message.errors because you don't want to show them flash messages are actually present.
The reason why you pass an error like { msg: 'Error messages goes here' } instead
of just a string - 'Error messages goes here', is for the sake of consistency.
To clarify that, express-validator module which is used for validating and sanitizing user's input,
returns all errors as an array of objects, where each object has a msg property with a message
why an error has occured. Here is a more general example of what express-validator returns when there are errors present:
[
{ param: "name", msg: "Name is required", value: "<received input>" },
{ param: "email", msg: "A valid email is required", value: "<received input>" }
]To keep consistent with that style, you should pass all flash messages
as { msg: 'My flash message' } instead of a string. Otherwise you will just see an alert box
without an error message. That is because, in partials/flash.jade template it will try to output
error.msg (i.e. "My flash message".msg), in other words it will try to call a msg method on a String object,
which will return undefined. Everything I just mentioned about errors, also applies
to "info" and "success" flash messages, and you could even create a new one yourself, such as:
Data Usage Controller (Example)
req.flash('warning', { msg: 'You have exceeded 90% of your data usage' });
User Account Page (Example)
if messages.warning
.alert.alert-warning.animated.fadeIn
for warning in messages.warning
div= warning.msgpartials/flash.jade is a partial template that contains how flash messages
are formatted. If you don't like the fadeIn animation, try something like
flipInX (refer to animate.css), or just
delete .animated.fadeIn from alerts if you don't want any animations. Or if you
want to customize your flash messages by displaying ✔ on success flash and ✗ on error
flash, this is the place where you would do all those customizations. Previously, flash
messages were scattered throughout each view that used flash messages
(contact, login, signup, profile), but now, thankfully it is uses a DRY approach.
The flash messages partial template is included in the layout.jade, along with footer and navigation.
body
#wrap
include partials/navigation
.container
include partials/flash
block content
include partials/footerIf you have any further questions about flash messages, please feel free to open an issue and I will update this mini-guide accordingly, or send a pull request if you would like to include something that I missed.
###:snowman: How do I create a new page?
A more correct way to be to say "How do I create a route". The main file app.js contains all the routes.
Each route has a callback function (aka controller) associated with it. Sometimes you will see 3 or more arguments
to routes. In cases like that, the first argument is still a URL string, the middle arguments
are what's called middleware. Think of middleware as a door. If this door prevents you from
continuing forward, well, you won't get to your callback function (aka controller). One such example is authentication.
app.get('/account', passportConf.isAuthenticated, userController.getAccount);It always goes from left to right. A user visits /account page. Then isAuthenticated middleware
checks if you are authenticated:
exports.isAuthenticated = function(req, res, next) {
if (req.isAuthenticated()) return next();
res.redirect('/login');
};If you are authenticated, you let this visitor pass through your "door" by calling return next();. It then proceeds to the
next middleware until it reaches the last argument which is a callback function that usually renders a template,
or responds with a JSON data, if you are building a REST API. But in this example it simply renders a page and nothing more:
exports.getAccount = function(req, res) {
res.render('account/profile', {
title: 'Account Management'
});
};Express.js has app.get, app.post, app.put, app.del, but for the most part you will only use the first two.
If you just want to display a page, then use GET, if you are submitting a form, sending a file then use POST.
Here is a typical workflow of adding new routes to your application. Let's say we are building a page that lists all books from database.
Step 1. Start by defining a route.
app.get('/books', bookController.getBooks);Step 2. Create a new controller file called book.js.
/**
* GET /books
* List all books.
*/
exports.getBooks = function(req, res) {
Book.find(function(err, docs) {
res.render('books', { books: docs });
});
};Step 3. Import that controller in app.js.
var bookController = require('./controllers/book');Step 4. Create books.jade template.
extends layout
block content
.page-header
h3 All Books
ul
for book in books
li= book.nameThat's it! I will say that you could have combined Step 1, 2, 3 as following:
app.get('/books', function(req, res) {
Book.find(function(err, docs) {
res.render('books', { books: docs });
});
});Sure, it's simpler, but as soon as you pass 1000 lines of code in app.js it becomes a little difficult to navigate the file.
I mean, the whole point of this boilerplate project was to separate concerns, so you could
work with your teammates without running into MERGE CONFLICTS. Imagine you have 4 developers
working on a single app.js, I promise you it won't be fun resolving merge conflicts all the time.
If you are the only developer then it's fine. But as I said, once it gets up to a certain LoC size, it becomes
difficult to maintain everything in a single file.
That's all there is to it. Express.js is super simple to use. Most of the time you will be dealing with other APIs to do the real work: Mongoose for querying database, socket.io for sending and receiving messages over websockets, sending emails via Nodemailer, form validation using express-validator library, parsing websites using Cheerio, and etc.
###:dizzy: How do I use Socket.io with Hackathon Starter? Dan Stroot submitted an excellent pull request that adds a real-time dashboard with socket.io. And as much as I'd like to add it to the project, I think it violates one of the main principles of the Hackathon Starter:
When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of use. I also tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific.
When I need to use socket.io, I really need it, but most of the time - I don't. But more importantly, websockets support is still experimental on most hosting providers. As of October 2013, Heroku supports websockets, but not until you opt-in by running this command:
heroku labs:enable websockets -a myappAnd what if you are deploying to OpenShift? They do support websockets, but it is currently in a preview state. So, for OpenShift you would need to change the socket.io connect URI to the following:
var socket = io.connect('http://yoursite-namespace.rhcloud.com:8000');Wait, why is it on port 8000? Who knows, and if I didn't run across this blog post I wouldn't even know I had to use port 8000.
I am really glad that Heroku and OpenShift at least have a websockets support, because many other PaaS providers still do not support it. Due to the aforementioned issues with websockets, I cannot include socket.io as part of the Hackathon Starter. For now... If you need to use socket.io in your app, please continue reading.
First you need to install socket.io:
npm install socket.io --saveReplace var app = express(); with the following code:
var app = express();
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(app);
var io = require('socket.io').listen(server);I like to have the following code organization in app.js (from top to bottom): module dependencies,
import controllers, import configs, connect to database, express configuration, routes,
start the server, socket.io stuff. That way I always know where to look for things.
Add the following code at the end of app.js:
io.configure(function() {
io.set('transports', ['websocket']);
});
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
socket.emit('greet', { hello: 'Hey, Mr.Client!' });
socket.on('respond', function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
socket.on('disconnect', function() {
console.log('Socket disconnected');
});
});We are done with the server-side business.
You now have a choice - to include your JavaScript code in Jade templates or have all your client-side
JavaScript in a separate file - in main.js. I will admit, when I first started out with Node.js and JavaScript in general,
I placed all JavaScript code inside templates because I have access to template variables passed in from Express
right then and there. It's the easiest thing you can do, but also the least efficient and harder to maintain. Since then I
almost never include inline JavaScript inside templates anymore.
But it's also understandable if you want take the easier road. Most of the time you don't even care about performance during hackathons, you just want to "get shit done" before the time runs out. Well, either way, use whichever approach makes more sense to you. At the end of the day, it's what you build that matters, not how you build it.
If you want to stick all your JavaScript inside templates, then in layout.jade -
your main template file, add this to head block.
script(src='/socket.io/socket.io.js?v=#{cacheBuster}')
script.
var socket = io.connect(window.location.href);
socket.on('greet', function (data) {
console.log(data);
socket.emit('respond', { message: 'Hello to you too, Mr.Server!' });
});Note: Notice the path of the socket.io.js, you don't actually
have to have socket.io.js file anywhere in your project; it will be generated automatically
at runtime.
If you want to have JavaScript code separate from templates, move that inline script code into main.js,
inside the $(document).ready() function:
$(document).ready(function() {
// Place JavaScript code here...
var socket = io.connect(window.location.href);
socket.on('greet', function (data) {
console.log(data);
socket.emit('respond', { message: 'Hello to you too, Mr.Server!' });
});
});And that's it, we are done!
If you want to see a really cool real-time dashboard check out this live example. Refer to the pull request #23 to see how it is implemented.
TODO
Once you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a cloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top picks. Create an account with MongoLab and then pick one of the 4 providers below. Once again, there are plenty of other choices and you are not limited to just the ones listed below. From my experience, Heroku is the easiest to get started with, it will automatically restart your node.js process when it crashes, custom domain support on free accounts and zero-downtime deployments.
❗Note: As an alternative to MongoLab, there is also MongoHQ.
Add these two lines to app.js, just place them anywhere before app.listen():
var IP_ADDRESS = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || '127.0.0.1';
var PORT = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || 8080;Then change app.listen() to:
app.listen(PORT, IP_ADDRESS, function() {
console.log("✔ Express server listening on port %d in %s mode", PORT, app.settings.env);
});Add this to package.json, after name and version. This is necessary because, by default, OpenShift looks for server.js file. And by specifying supervisor app.js it will automatically restart the server when node.js process crashes.
"main": "app.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "supervisor app.js"
},- Finally, now you can push your code to OpenShift by running
git push -f openshift master - Note: The first time you run this command, you have to pass
-f(force) flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you create a new Node.js app. Passing-fflag will override everything with your Hackathon Starter project repository. Please do not dogit pullas it will create unnecessary merge conflicts. - And you are done! (Not quite as simple as Heroku, huh?)
TODO: Will be added soon.
TODO: Will be added soon.
- Pages that require login, should automatically redirect to last attempted URL on successful sign-in.
If something is unclear, confusing, or needs to be refactored, please let me know. Pull requests are always welcome, but due to the opinionated nature of this project, I cannot accept every pull request. Please open an issue before submitting a pull request. This project uses Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide with a few exceptions.
